automount USB-sticks/hdds with pcmanfm work perfectly, then i made a system update and now its only possible to mount manually.
How can i fix this?

First of all, check that it is the pcmanfm upgrade that is causing the problem by rolling back your installed version of pcmanfm from 0.9.7-1 to 0.5.2-1
The following example is for 32 bit only and assumes you haven't cleared your pacman cache files:
cd /var/cache/pacman/pkg
pacman -U pcmanfm-0.5.2-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz
See if that makes your usb pen drives visable again on pcmanfm.
I'm looking for a fix for pcmanfm-0.9.7.1, but so far I see it involves messing about with HAL and all sorts of other nonsense.

after those issues with pcmanfm from the repos, i installed pcmanfm-git from the aur and udisks from the repos
pcmanfm-git is hal independant but can't handle any devices by default, so you have to edit the file: /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.udisks.policy
and change <allow_any>no</allow_any>, to <allow_any>yes</allow_any> (at the very beginning of the file)
+ start dbus as daemon

this stuff was brought multiple times on forum after this update. use the search feature and you'll find proper ways of configure your system and not junks like editing /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.udisks.policy
Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.
